much pleased with these little receptions
which have been given at Forest Port, Hol-
land Patent and Clinton, The people in the
country act very nicely. They are so quiet
and polite, and there is no rudeness or

a reception pleasant, without being in the
least fatiguing. | think the country people
especially are deserving of the very kindest
treatment by you newspaper men,"

| latter in the endeavor to make the Presi-
dents sojourn in the village pleasant. From

| party took the train to Cape Vincent, where
| they embarked on the steamboat on which
they sail among the islands is distance of
ninety miles, The train was scheduled to

and the people ON the depot platform
crowded forward to shake hands. Half a
dozen children pressed forward, each of
whom the President shook by the hand.
| AT Lowville, one of the largest villages in

miles in hour and 40 minutes
500 PEOPLE AT THE DEPOT
There was crowd of 500 persons at the
depot in this city when the train drew in,
| and nearly all expected that a short stop
| would be made About fifteen minutes be-
fore the train arrived, however, Postmaster
John s. Streeter received a telegram saying
that the train would not stop here because
the President was not well. General Man
ager Britton arrived here at 10: 80 o'clock on
special train from Oswego, bringing a

We're Mr.. and Mrs. Britton, Mr. and Mrs.
| Theodore Irwin, Mr.. and Mrs Edwin Allen,
Mrs. Capt. Palfrey Of Oswego, Mrs. Collough

| reached, where the special car from Oswego
was coupled on. The run through the city
was made SLOWLY. President and Mrs.

their car and bowed to the people at the
depot. A cheer went up as the train passed.
NOT LOOKING WELL.
The President was not looking particularly
well- to-day and Mrs Cleveland was evi-
| IDENTIFY suffering very much from what is
known as the ''sty" on her right eye. The
| indications were otherwise good for an en-
| joyable trip on the st. Lawrence river
| among the Thousand Islands. When the
islanders woke up last night and heard q
| heavy rain pouring down above their beads
they thought it extremely improbable that
they would see the President Of the United
States to-daX but when morning came their
| fears were dispelled by bright sunlight
Many people went over TO Clayton on the
early boats, hoping to catch a glimpse of
| the Presidential party at that place, but
they were sadly disappointed when the st.
Lawrence left there at $50 o'clock for Cape
| Vincent.
AT CAPE VINCENT.
She arrived at the cape at 10 O'Clock with
| a few reporters on board, and found the vii
layers already gathered at the depot TO greet

crease until II o'clock, when over 900
people welcomed the President The party
| Immediately proceeded 10 the steamer st
| Lawrence, President and Mrs. Cleveland
returning the salutations of the crowd
! The steamer pulled out amid cheers. The
| st. Lawrence was decorated with flags
| She barely touched at Clayton and Round
| Island Park At Thousand Island Park a
salute was fired. At each place President
and Mrs. Cleveland bowed their acknowl-
edgements. They reached Thousand Island
| Park at 30 o'clock this afternoon.

direction Of the Thousand Island Park, and
when about equally distant from the two
places met the Canadian steam

no sign OF recognition, notwithstanding that
the Union Jack ioated from the st. Law

park was the largest encountered, but no stop
